CAMPERVAN HIRE IN AUSTRALIA<br />
ain’t nothing trashy about this trailer<br />
Australia’s a vast country and<br />
there are numbers of ways to<br />
travel around. You could sign up<br />
for a guided tour, hire a car or<br />
equip yourself with a hop-on,<br />
hop-off bus pass, or you could<br />
zoom around by plane. But for the<br />
ultimate in flexibility it’s hard to<br />
beat the freedom of a campervan.<br />
In fact, so famous has Australia<br />
become for this style of travel, it’s<br />
almost a rite of passage to hire<br />
your own home on wheels as part<br />
of your big Aussie adventure!<br />
AUSTRALIA<br />
freedom & flexibility<br />
With a campervan, you’re your own boss<br />
and you make the rules. Plan your route in<br />
advance, or make it up as you go, there’s<br />
no itinerary and nobody is going to tell you<br />
what to do. Wake up when you want, go<br />
to sleep when you want and avoid all that<br />
endless packing and unpacking.<br />
WHERE TO <strong>STA</strong>Y<br />
Campsites can be found everywhere in<br />
Australia, from cities to beaches, and from<br />
national parks to out-of-the-way places<br />
you’d never reach otherwise. It’s easy to<br />
find somewhere cheap to stay and you’ll be<br />
given a campsite directory when you pick<br />
up your vehicle to make planning easy. As<br />
an absolute minimum, campsite facilities<br />
will include clean showers and toilets,<br />
barbecues and shared kitchen.<br />
SAVE MONEY<br />
When you hire a campervan, you avoid<br />
having to fork out for an expensive place<br />
to stay each night. Shop at supermarkets<br />
and markets for the best value produce and<br />
cater for yourself, while still enjoying meals<br />
out along the way. The fridge on board<br />
ensures you always have a supply of cold<br />
drinks and beers, and you’re never far from<br />
a snack when hunger strikes!<br />
